That's not true. You need a tune for long tube headers because the front o2's have been moved further down stream and you need a tune to compensate for it.

I missed that they were LT headers -- you are correct in that case.

So the person behind you, sitting in traffic, eyes don't water from the fumes? I can smell a car with no cats or bad cats and it is not something I want going in my lungs.

If it was up to me, this emissions **** would not be in effect. Its a money maker. It should be optional. I dont agree with the fact that the state can tell me how to run/setup my car, but its a law and i have to follow it. But i respect your opinion.

If the emissions standards weren't in effect, we'd all be dead or dying by now. "F" the earth right? Remember, its your family and friends sitting behind these people trying to get an extra 2hp and acquiring lung cancer in the process.

So move to another state and stop crying. Come down to Florida and run straight pipes on your truck like the rest of the white trash.
